Notre Dame played this pass Saturday and we looked sharp! Yes we were playing Nevada, but they are not a push over team. They recorded a total of 307 yards but were only 2-11 on 3rd down conversions (0-1 4th down), and they turned the ball over 3 times. Jimmy Clausen and Michael Floyd stole the show, Clausen was 15-18 for 315 yards and 4, yes four, touchdowns. Floyd was the recipient of 3 of those touchdowns passes, one for 70 yards and another for 88!!! We also ran for a total of 178 yards making it a 510 yard game.
Defense also looked good, but could be better we did allow 307 yards (154 passing and 153 on the ground) but we did the job we needed to do keeping them to an 18% 3rd down completion percentage.
Irish won 35-0!!! We entered the season at #23 and with this shutout win and a 510 yard day we moved up to #18!!!
Bears have a big opener on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers (Boo!) in Green Bay. We looked good on both sides of the ball in pre-season and can hopefully keep that momentum and drive to win going.
In other news...

Our Fantasy Football will start this Thursday with NFL's opening game, Titans vs. Steelers (Titans are Fatty's favorite team, gogo Titans!).
